We’ve often been taught in society that “I don’t know” shows ignorance or a lack of expertise, but it is one of the most powerful knowings. Yes, “I don’t know” is a knowing…
The truth of the matter is that not knowing actually keeps you open to learning more. It’s pretty simple right? There is ALWAYS more to know, to learn. KNOWING something without a doubt can sometimes be dangerous to open mindedness and therefore growth. Any belief that you hold without a doubt can actually hold you back because a belief is a concept, a thing that was formed in the past. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have beliefs, that itself is a belief, I am just asking you to keep an open mind.
So next time try saying, “I don’t know” and see how freeing that is…and because you will no longer be drawing on a concept from the past to “know”, you will be fully present in the NOW, and therefore fully present for your inner knowing and wisdom to show up.
Where in your life can you give that a try?
